Indesit oven question

CAFCGirl

Hi everyone..

Im after a favour really....

We've just moved house and have an indesit oven in the property.
Theres no manual and I cant figure out what the symbols mean...

If i was to post up a photo, does anyone think they might be able to tell me what they mean?

I cant find the model number on it anywhere, and tried looking for manuals online....

I would have just figured it out myself in time but since we've moved in, the oven has been such a bug bear to me because it's not cooking my food properly, or is only cooking the surface and its only whats on the top shelf that cooks!

I'm so hungry!:rotfl:

Thanks inadvance!

Some ovens have a top and a bottom heating element. You can choose
a)top element
b)bottom element
c)both
d)both and fan
If you choose a or c but do not have the fan then the top of the oven is very hot indeed. Mine is not an Indesit but it does have these choices. I always use d.

Three little triangles is full grill, two little triangles is half grill

oooooh

anyone know what the bottom one is and the one after the light bulb?

equals sign is conventional oven, light bulb is light only (just in case you feel the need for just a look inside?)

I would think:

going round clockwise:
light = light only, no heat
two lines = convection oven
bottom line = heat from bottom of oven only (eg to reheat pies)
two triangles = single grill (middle bit only)
three triangles = full grill

What setting have you been putting stuff on?
